It’s coming up on Max’s birthday!  So, we celebrate the extraordinary life of my beloved prime-mate, partner, lover-boy, butler, producer, witness and husband of over 30 years, the man we call Capt’n Max.

Prince Maximillian Rudolph Leblovic di Lobkowicz di Filangieri (a prince on both his Czech Lobkowicz and Italian Filangieri sides), life-long sex revolutionary, real rƎVO˩utionary, my romantic hero and my bonoboësque inspiration, has long been a great First Amendment freedom fighter and pioneer in 20^th century erotic expression, as well as reader-written publishing—which evolved and then exploded into what we now call “social media.”

He’s also a great designer and a really great kisser. Va-va-va-voom! Capt’n Max is my “V” without the violence, and if you tuned in live to this ride, we “remember, remember the 5^th of November” from V for Vendetta, that classic, cinematic, anti-totalitarian, Guy Fawkes-streaked celebration of masked revolution.

Bonobo Kink Not War

It’s also the 8^th anniversary of The Bonobo Way (now with over 50 five-star Amazon reviews), more evolution than revolution, as well as conflict resolution via peace through pleasure, female empowerment, male well-being, sharing, caring and a Bonobo Sutra of erotic activities. Eight years ago, I wrote The Bonobo Way, and gave it to Max on his birthday.

Our most recent offering, Version 6.0 of the Bonobo Way at Domcon LA is now making its way through the leftist and kink community: Make Kink Not War: Be Bonobo! 

Get the MKNW T-Shirt! Stand for peace and proudly wear your kink across your chest. Show the arms dealers and war profiteers that there is another way—the Bonobo Way.

It also makes a great holiday gift for the peaceable kinkster in your life!

Happy Birthday DaLove!

And it’s our first F.D.R. of Naughty November, 2022, as well as our third live Callin show, as the birthday festivities turn into a Block Party that explodes into a freewheeling, far-reaching, deep-diving, sexy, lefty, bonobo-evolutionary, media-therapeutic discussion.

Joining us live on Callin are Daniele Watts, aka DaLove, and Chef Belive, last seen on our amazing Bonoboville Reunion (soon to appear on Vice!). It’s also that Happy Birthday change of season for DaLove, one of the most beautiful radiant spirits and greatest performance artists we have ever known. We’re delighted to have DaLove and BeLive join us for this special Scorpio Birthday Callin show, and they have many erotic and traumatic confessions, revelations, insights and adventures to share in the crisp, not-so-clean, Naughty November air

Then Dale from Minneapolis hops on the Callin line to share his enthusiasm for what he’s hearing, as well as a fantasy of a blissful female-male-female threesome with him as the lucky monkey-in-the-middle, plus he learns an important lesson in pussy-positive and sex-worker-respectful discourse.

Strangers in the Night

We also welcome an intriguing Callin character with a strong voice and a big sex drive who calls himself “Schnarf,” his ironic spin on Thundercats’ Snarf. Recommended by the lovely Samantha, aka “poshproletariatspice,” Schnarf is rather dramatically struggling with what he feels is “hypersexuality,” instigating a round of true stories, tall tales, questions, sex tips and conversations about so-called “sex addiction” and having sex with strangers (“Strangers in the Night”). We all try to help Schnarf handle his high sex drive, fear of intimacy, relationship with kink, “addiction,” issues with respect (for himself and for his partners), childhood memories, feeling “dirty” about desire and despondent about love. But honestly, with this many issues, sexy Schnarf really could benefit from some off-the-air therapy.

Speaking of which, that’s what the Therapists Without Borders of the Dr. Susan Block Institute provide!

It’s also the last Saturday before Midterm Madness, one of the craziest most polarizing Election Days in the history of the USA, meaning it’s lesser-of-two-evils time. So, get off your ass and vote for the damn Dems by Tuesday, or Wednesday, our body politic could be infested with MAGAts.  It’s true, we don’t have a perfect democracy; we have an oligarchy and a terrible war. It’s awful, but if there’s anything that 2016 taught us, it’s that “awful” can get worse. Much worse.

It’s also Native American History Month… coming up on a Slappy Spanksgiving. Let’s have a Native Tribal Council integrated with Congress. In the meantime, let’s try to hold off that fascism folks. Hopefully, by the time you read this, it won’t be too late.

Is Apartheid Elon deliberately and diabolically destroying Twitter purely to “own the libs” or is he just being a massive idiot with billions to burn?

It’s already too late for my poor Twitterverse, now being ruined by Elona Musky quicker than tRump ruined our country. #GoElon is trending alongside Musk-mocking memes. It’s feels like fast-forwarding on the freefall of civilization.

This brings up the eternal question: stupid or evil? Is Apartheid Elon deliberately and diabolically destroying Twitter purely to “own the libs” or is he just being a massive idiot with billions to burn? Regardless, this whole Musk/Twitter horror show is a great example of why Elon’s nemesis Liz Warren is right: We need a massive wealth tax.

Meanwhile, we slip, slide, fumble, fuck, fight, dance and trip along to our dystopian destinies, hopefully mitigated by the Bonobo Way. Make like bonobos, not baboons, Brothers and Sisters, Lovers and Sinners! Save the humans.

Happiest of Birthdays to the Very BEST of Husbands, my big bonobo, my Little Prince, my sweetheart, Capt’n Max. As deep is our trust, so wide is our lust. You’re my best friend forever, but you’re also my mysteriously sexy Stranger in the Night.
